It's a balancing act. Too little collateral damage and the provider hosting the spammer isn't motivated to act. Too much collateral damage, and no one uses your blacklist because using it generates too many user complaints, and then your list doesn't motivate anyone to do anything because there's no real downside to being on the list. Just the right amount of collateral damage, and your list gets widely used, and causes enough pain on the other of the /24 that they clean things up. I'm not arguing for or against any particular amount of collateral damage. Just commenting on the effects of varying amounts of collateral damage. -- Brett
